English to Sign Language (ASL) Translator

Text to ASL Generator Tool

American Sign Language (ASL) is a natural language. It is the primary sign language used by the deaf and people with hearing impairment in the USA and Canada.

American Sign Language is one of the most popular sign languages around the world. Although it contains the same alphabets as English, it is not a subset of the English language. Sentence formation or the sequence of words in a sentence is different in ASL as compared to English because of its unique grammar rules. ASL is considered to be a descendant of French Sign Language that is also influenced by Martha's Vineyard Sign Language and some other local sign languages. ASL uses the one-hand fingerspelling method for the English Alphabet.

This WeCapable Tool easily converts English text into sign language symbols. This tool will be very useful for both teaching and learning American sign language.
